Idk what to do.
I am lost, really lost. My whole childhood got spend and wasted watching my parents fighting, relatives not paying attention and our family struggling financially, my mother was never ok and so my father both had some issues with themselves, right now my brain is way to foggy idk if that's the right word to describe it but right now I can't properly think about past, being beaten because of bad grades and not being able to memorize quickly. one time my mother told me once your father beat you when you were 9 month I do believe it as I have seen him throwing down my brother on the floor why these two incidents happened my father gets trigger by kids crying. I remember praying to Allah that my father just doesn't come back home. But my mother wasn't any better she hit me too and my brother once he stepped into education, she would get triggered if she wouldn't get her desired outcome she wouldn't hit us when it was grade she would create drama sometimes instead but when she is like helping us with syllables. Also my father and mother would fight a lot, I really don't remember any phase of my life without some kind of disturbance because of family I also doubt I might have adhd idk I am just in doubtz why I didn't get diagnosed? My mother don't believe in things like that she thinks it's black magic. Oh yeah she is also paranoid about black magic so obsessed over it. I am in my final samester and I am stuck she is always trying to take me and my brother with her to some healer name haq khateeb and she has contact with them constantly and they are making her just paranoid. Idk what to do I too many time lose my cool, oh and my family is so strict like I am 26 and I still have no friends, no social circle just because of the environment I live in. One of my biggest problem is that I feel scared of my father and brother too because of what I have decided for my future, I want to Built a clothing brand and move to Canada, I also like wearing clothes that might be deem not appropriate I mean actually they are by general standards appropriate but considering my family where my mother tries to force me to wear bhurka and at some point my father tries to did it too but I tbh don't know about him, he says he only asked me to do it because we lived in village. We have moved away from that village 3 years ago we are now in Rawalpindi. That village is a different story and people in that place aren't really good. I just want to ask if any of you know that I can ask for help from Law here. The reason I want to involve police is because I am unstable person mentally myself, My legs can't move my whole body freezes when I think about simply running away. Guilt, emotional dysregulation and financial dependency. Is there any advice I can follow I also think I might be into women not really sure I don't have time to think about it. I want to say more but I can't come up with any words or thoughts (My English isn't good so please ignore mistakes)
